~Giveaway~ Kids' Healthy Mouths $100 Ama­zon Gift­card

~I was not given anything for this post, I am just sharing to promote.~

Giveaway sponsored by Bloggin' Mamas. I am sharing this giveaway as part of a social good campaign to support 2min2x.org

Did you know that more than 51 million school hours are lost each year due to dental related illness, resulting in parents losing 25 million work hours annually? Cavities and oral infections can cause severe pain and can increase a child’s risk for dental issues and poor health throughout their lives. 3 in 4 parents report that their kids sometimes or frequently forget to brush their teeth, according to a national survey just released by the Ad Council. In an effort to help parents better understand why ignoring dental health can have serious consequences, and educate families about good dental health habits, the Ad Council and The Partnership for Healthy Mouths, Healthy Lives created the Kids' Healthy Mouths campaign to spread the importance of kids brushing their teeth for 2 minutes, 2 times a day. Other information and resources can be found here: 2min2x.org In support of this campaign, I am working with Bloggin' Mamas to share this information to the public. Bloggin' Mamas is offering a $100 Amazon giftcard to help one lucky winner purchase items for their family to maintain good oral hygiene.

Check out one of the campaign PSA videos, which I am sure you'll find amusing:

Baby Banana Brush Review & Giveaway

I don't know about other mom's with babies but we go through teether's like kids go through candy on Halloween. They fall apart or get so dirty that I throw them away. Otherwise they are so hard that my Teddy won't chew on them. He doesn't like the frozen ones, apparently he's picky! So when I was offered the chance to try the Baby Banana Brush I was thrilled. I've heard great things about them and Teddy has been teething terribly with no real relief in sight.

When I got our Baby Banana Teething Toothbrush it was right before Christmas, so I decided to save it till then. Teddy has been crying and in pain for what seems like 6 months straight. I'm sure I am imagining some of that but it sure feels like it. My first thought was of how cute it is. I am all about cute baby products, ok cute anything. I gave it to him to open thinking no way would he use the handle's. But he grabbed on one side and it went straight into the mouth. It was like instant happiness..for him and me. He will sit or lay with it and put it in his mouth and chew on it. Then he will pull it out and stare at it. Apparently he think's it's cute also!

He really seems to enjoy it. He has another teether/toothbrush combo someone gave us, and he won't touch it. He'll put it into his mouth and then pull it right out and start crying. The Baby Banana Brush is a joy because once he gets his hands on it he chews and stays quiet. Ok you can't call it quiet, because he coo's and talks to it. I think it's his first love! This photo is 5 days after Christmas, and he still loves it!

The Baby Banana Brush is made from 100% silicone. It's for infants through 2 years old. The only real downfall I can see is when it's dropped, it picks up every speck of dust, hair, etc. But it's really a simple fix just to wash it off, and most of you would probably do that anyway. It is also dishwasher safe and freezer friendly!

The company is family owned and operated and they strive to make brushing fun and safe. The brushes have a slight C shape to them and are pretty flexible. You can also get a few other styles, even a toddler training toothbrush and tooth gel. There are also some new fun animal shapes.

Baby Banana Brush Review and Giveaway Coming Soon!

How fun are these? I can't wait to give one a try. Teddy has been teething really bad lately and I am looking forward to reviewing a safe teething toothbrush that he will be able to test out! So many things these days are so bad for your baby, so I am glad to try something that is not. Not only is it soft and safe but it comes in such cute shapes. It also helps with teething and starts your baby on the right path to brushing!

These teething toothbrushes are 100% silicone. They are for infants through 2 years old. The company is family owned and operated. They strive to make brushing fun (and safer) with this which is their flagship product. The Baby Banana Brush, and their brand new product the Cornelius Teething Toothbrush are a sure hit! Baby Banana Brushes are wildly popular online (currently the #1 baby product on Amazon) Wouldn't they make a great Stocking stuffer for your baby? I know they will for mine!

Look for my review and a GIVEAWAY coming this month!
